حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ
إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا، فَلَأَنْ أَخِرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَكْذِبَ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا رَجُلٌ مُحَارِبٌ، وَالْحَرْبُ خَدْعَةٌ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: يَخْرُجُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ أَقْوَامٌ أَحْدَاثُ الْأَسْنَانِ، سُفَهَاءُ الْأَحْلَامِ، يَقُولُونَ مِنْ خَيْرِ قَوْلِ الْبَرِيَّةِ، لَا يُجَاوِزُ إِيمَانُهُمْ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ، فَأَيْنَمَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ، فَإِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ لِمَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

✧ "If I narrate to you a hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, falling from the sky is dearer to me than lying about him. But if I narrate to you from other than him, then I am a man who engages in war, and war is deception. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: At the end of time, there will come people young in age, foolish in minds, who speak with the best words of creation. Their faith does not pass beyond their throats. Wherever you meet them, kill them, for killing them is a reward for the one who kills them on the Day of Resurrection."
